Queens Royals vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons Prediction
I’m on Wake Forest in this one. I get the case to be made for Queens in the underdog role, but the thing is that the Royals have struggled when taking the step up in competition at times this year and I think this is just a tough spot for Queens to go on the road and beat a solid Wake team. Give me the Demon Deacons in this one.
